Richardson Nature Center Fall Family Photos

Richardson Nature Center is the perfect backdrop for all the fall colors!!

Richardson Nature Center in Bloomington is the place to be for all the fall colors!! It is such a huge area that you can catch maybe different colors as the fall season goes on. Because of the size, you might think that you have to park and walk a ways to get to a nice photo spot, but I have found a secret little parking area that leads you right into the park. I got you covered! 🙂

Depending on the time of day you will get sun filled birch trees in the morning or tall grasses with golden light in the evening. This is a great spot to bring your dog(s) as it is super dog friendly.

I typically like to end our time at Richardson Nature Center on the long wooden bridge. I find it adds a little something different to your session. Another bonus is the amount of wildlife you will stumble upon when there. Birds, butterflies, chipmunks and the occasional frog are likely to make an appearance.

As you may have guessed, fall is one of the busiest times of the years for family photos. So be sure to connect with me early so we can get your family scheduled for a fall family photo session!

oh hey!

I’m Megan, and I believe
real magic’s in the mess.

As a busy Minneapolis mom, I know how hard it is to make time for family photos. It can feel as impossible as finishing that book your best friend gave you months ago. But when I do get in front of the camera, I want those images to truly matter. I want to look back years from now and feel like I’m right there again, hearing the laughter, seeing that familiar look, and remembering the love.

That’s why I’m so passionate about Minneapolis Family Photography that captures real connection. No stiff poses or matching outfits, just the beauty of your everyday life. Whether it’s a lifestyle newborn session, in-home family portraits, or a Fresh 48 session, I focus on authentic moments that reflect who you really are. These are the photos that tell your story.
